Moving Mandalas and Geometric Animations from Light Weaver. The Benjamin Franklin Effect & You Are Not So Smart - StumbleUpon. The Misconception: You do nice things for the people you like and bad things to the people you hate.
The Truth: You grow to like people for whom you do nice things and hate people you harm. Benjamin Franklin knew how to deal with haters. Born in 1706 as the eighth of 17 children to a Massachusetts soap and candlestick maker, the chances Benjamin would go on to become a gentleman, scholar, scientist, statesman, musician, author, publisher and all-around general bad-ass were astronomically low, yet he did just that and more because he was a master of the game of personal politics.
Like many people full of drive and intelligence born into a low station, Franklin developed strong people skills and social powers. All else denied, the analytical mind will pick apart behavior, and Franklin became adroit at human relations. Franklin’s prospects were dim. At 17, Franklin left Boston and started his own printing business In Philadelphia.
What exactly happened here? Let’s start with your attitudes. Researcher runs IP network over xylophones - Page 1 - Communications Infrastructure. A graduate student has shown how to transmit Internet packets by playing them on a musical instrument to understand networking principles NEW YORK — Vint Cerf once wore a shirt that read “IP on Everything,” a wry comment on the universatility of the Internet Protocol he helped invent, a protocol that underlies all Internet communication.
Now a University of California Berkeley researcher has put Cerf’s maxim to the test, running an IP network over a set of xylophones, played by human participants. While not practical for everyday use, the experiment has helped both computer experts and novices alike better understand how computer networks operate, said R. Stuart Geiger, a graduate student at the Berkeley’s School of Information who led the project. Geiger discussed his work at the at the Association for Computing Machinery’s Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, which was held last week in Austin, Texas. Umwelt “requires you to be empathetic with technology,” Geiger said.
Software gives visual representation of who’s following you online. By Stephen C.
WebsterThursday, March 1, 2012 11:08 EDT A new piece of software released this week by browser-maker Mozilla does something unique: it provides a real-time visualization of who is tracking your movements online. The software is called “Collusion,” developed last year by Mozilla programmer Atul Varma, who became inspired to code the program after reading extensively about online privacy matters.
It plugs into the Firefox browser and watches as websites and ad networks drop “cookies” into the browser during normal surfing. “Each dot in the graph represents a website,” Alex Fowler, the global privacy lead at Mozilla, explained to Raw Story. While it doesn’t sound all that creepy, just wait until you see your own graph. “Mozilla’s goal is to raise awareness of users about one part of their online experience,” Fowler explained.
